“Love Thy Friend As Thyself” Is the Main Law of Nature

631.1All the commandments of the Torah are instructions on how to fulfill the one main commandment: “Love thy friend as thyself.”

Therefore, it is called the general law of nature.

The rest of the commandments are essentially its components, indicating on different levels and in various circumstances how to carry out “love thy friend,” that is, how to unite with one another above the egoism that separates and repels us.

If the Heart Tells You

232.01Question: It is said that a person cannot do anything for the sake of the Creator. What about faith and the prompting of the heart when a person feels he can act for the sake of the Creator?

Answer: If one’s heart tells a person this, and the person listens to his heart and acts, then that is good. That is, he agrees to gather the hearts of the friends in his own heart and turn them toward the Creator.

Question: But the article says that he cannot. Could it be that I am mistaken?

Answer: Then you will feel whether you are mistaken or not. It is correct if we demand that such connections begin to awaken and work within us.

If the Group Is In Harmony

524.01Question: There are friends who lose the importance of spirituality during the lesson. How long should we keep making efforts to pray for such friends?

Answer: It is hard to say. It depends on the group. If the group is in harmony, connected, then they experience common ascents, descents, and movement forward. They feel each other.

In that case, their prayer is also common; otherwise, it does not arise.

On the Same Wavelength with the Creator

276.02Question: In the inner work, how can a person distinguish between the mind (Mocha) and the heart (Liba)? Where should he be above reason and where within reason?

Answer: It depends on how the Creator rearranges these perceptions, these sensors, within him, which of them is more defining and which is more important for him at that moment.

In accordance with this, a person responds to the Creator on the same wavelength.

The Request Comes from Everyone

282.01Question: Can we take the prayer of the Kabbalists as an example and work through it with you about how it is born from nothing, grows, and eventually becomes filled?

Answer: You should try to compose this prayer yourselves, each one individually, and then begin to unite them together so that, in the end, you have a prayer of many.

Then it will become clearer to you how to unite with one another in order to address the Creator. The Creator does not require much—the main thing is that it is of the highest possible quality. And you have that.

Question: Usually not everyone takes part in composing the prayer in the ten; it is the same friends, say three people. How important is it that each person invests in it? Or is it enough that these three express the request on behalf of the whole ten?

Answer: It does not matter. The request still comes from everyone.

How Can We Unite the Prayers of All the Tens?

947Question: Our daily challenge is to build a prayer in the ten. How can we correctly clarify the prayer together? And another challenge is uniting it with the prayers of all the tens.

Answer: This is indeed a challenge. But the thing is, we must try to feel each other more, to sense how much we are unable to unite.

Only in the unity of hearts will we immediately feel the Creator between us. The force that will unite us is the Creator.

Don’t Over Do It

962.4Question: Don’t try to buy off your child with new sneakers, tablets, or toys. Then how do you “buy” a child?

Answer: By showing him that you are his friend, that you are supposedly on his level. And just imagine how much you have to remake yourself for that, how much you need to change.

Question: Yes, it is me who has to change. And what do you mean by the word “friend”?

Answer: You understand him, you are ready to help him, support him. The main thing is to understand him.

Question: Don’t overdo it with developmental courses, clubs, extracurricular activities. Let the child live through their childhood organically.

What is an organically lived childhood?

Answer: In general, yes. A child should do what he wants.

Question: To that extent?

Answer: In the end, he gets his desires and opinions from his friends anyway. So it is not really his own. But still, encourage him.

Comment: But you said you were surrounded by composers, by music. And little by little…

My Response: It did not really give me anything special.

Question: But it gave you an ear for music. You definitely have an ear. Do you still think a child should be given freedom of choice?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Keep your word. Say it once, do it the second time. Would it be better not to promise the child anything at all so as not to deceive them?

Answer: No, but if you want to demonstrate upbringing, then you must both promise and follow through.

Question: Let him make mistakes. Finnish researchers say: “What a wonderful mistake!” That is, I could even say for a mistake: “Well done. You made a mistake.” Can such an approach be used?

Answer: Not “well done.” But find the mistake, correct it. Here you have a mistake. And it is not an accusation, you are not blaming him.

Question: “Do not be afraid to overlove your child”—people say that. What does it mean to “overlove”?

Answer: Not to show excessive love, especially where it might get in the way.

Question: Can love get in the way?

Answer: Of course. Everything must be measured and in balance.
